Russell Crowe 罗素•克洛
Russell Crowe (罗素•克洛)将数学家纳什演绎的入木三分。只看纳什,你肯定想不到他还是《角斗士》中那个有情有义、勇猛无敌的古罗马将军吧!
Russell Crowe won an Oscar as best actor for playing the title role in the 2000 film Gladiator. Crowe began acting in his adopted home country of Australia, winning acclaim in films like The Crossing (1990) and Romper Stomper (1992). In the mid-1990s he became more prominent in America in films like Sharon Stone's The Quick and the Dead (1995, also starring Leonardo DiCaprio). He broke through as a heroic cop in the retro crime thriller L.A. Confidential (1997, with Kim Basinger) and won an Oscar nomination for his work as tobacco whistleblower Jeffrey Wigand in 1999's The Insider. The next year he made a huge splash playing the wronged Roman hero Maximus in Gladiator (directed by Ridley Scott). The film won the Academy Award for best picture of 2000, and Crowe himself was given the Oscar as best actor. Rugged yet sensitive onscreen, Crowe has developed an offscreen reputation as a cheerfully unruly Aussie who on occasion enjoys a pint and a scuffle. His other roles include a kidnapper-chasing security consultant in Proof of Life (2000, with Meg Ryan), the mathematician John Nash in A Beautiful Mind (2001, with Jennifer Connelly), the dashing sea captain Jack Aubrey in Master and Commander (2003), real-life boxer Jim Braddock in Cinderella Man (2005, with Renee Zellweger), and as a cornered outlaw in 3:10 to Yuma (2007, with Christian Bale.
Crowe performed with his own rock band, Thirty Odd Foot of Grunts (also known as TOFOG), until the group disbanded in 2004... He had a much-publicized affair with Meg Ryan while both were filming the 2000 movie Proof of Life. (Who2biography)
我观之我见
现实中,Nash 的妻子Alicia在他患病后,照顾了他三十年,期间虽有离婚,但妻子一直有照料他,尤其是1970年后无人愿意再收留Nash,Alicia将其接到自己的家中给予照料(其时他们早已离婚)。电影中,Alicia一直对Nash不离不弃,同意他不再吃药治疗、以免影响神经,并在可能收到伤害的情况下还是留在身边照顾他。当1994年,纳什被授予诺贝尔奖时,电影中纳什对他的妻子发表了这样的感言:
I've always believed in numbers. In the equations and logics that lead to reason. But after a lifetime of such pursuits, I ask, what truly is logic? Who decides reason? My quest has taken me through the physical, the metaphysical, the delusional, and back. And I have made the most important discovery of my career. The most important discovery of my life. It is only in the mysterious equations of love that any logical reasons can be found. I'm only here tonight because of you. You are the reason I am. You are all my reasons. Thank you.
我一直相信数字,方程式,逻辑推理。但是经过一生的追寻后,我问我自己,什么才是正确的逻辑,谁决定的前提?我从肉体上,精神上,幻觉上探索这个问题,再回到现实。然后我发现了生涯中最重要的发现,我一生中最重大的发现,就是在爱情中,任何逻辑都是合理的。只因有你,我今晚才能站在这里。你是我成其为我的前提,你是我所有的逻辑。谢谢。
这也许是一份爱情所能得到的最好献词了吧。
